Fallen I am Fallen am I Like the snow on the ground When the winter comes ‘round
Fallen I am Fallen am I Neither sign nor star Has ever fallen so far …has ever fallen so far…
For his love was immense It was terrifying And I could not exist In the fullness of him
I thought it better to reign And as rain I shall fall I will wrap myself warm in my flesh Safe at last from all that he’s blessed
And I shall soften the features Of his face as he appears Before his creatures But I’ll spit on the broken Crown of the human race
Fallen I am Fallen am I Like the snow on the ground When the winter comes ‘round
Fallen I am Fallen am I Neither sign nor star Has ever fallen so far
…has ever fallen so far…
But Michael, oh Michael Oh you blond child… You sing at his feet Yet appear elevated by your very nature Your back does not really bend Nor hunchbacked do you appear …though you kneel
But as for me When I began to sing The notes they choked in my throat And the words just fell all apart And the fire… It just left my heart
Fallen I am Fallen am I Like the snow on the ground When the winter comes ‘round
Fallen I am Fallen am I Neither sign nor star Has ever fallen so far
…has ever fallen so far…
And there’s one house empty Oh, there’s one house empty There’s one house empty In Jerusalem tonight In Jerusalem tonight
Oh, there’s one house empty There’s one house empty Yes there’s one house empty
In Jerusalem tonight In Jerusalem tonight In Jerusalem good night In Jerusalem Turn out the light…
